Screaming Eagle Second Flight 2015 750mL is the Oakville estate’s second red wine, renamed The Flight for this vintage. Its Merlot-led style differs from Screaming Eagle’s principal Cabernet.
About This Wine
This vintage was released as The Flight, although the product record retains its earlier Second Flight name. Its estate vineyard is in Oakville; the Merlot emphasis sets it apart from the principal Cabernet bottling.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Violets and blackberry with earthy notes.
- Palate: Merlot fruit meets fine, fresh tannins.
- Finish: Earth and spice linger.
Serving & Food
Serve slightly cool in a Bordeaux glass. Taste first and decant only if sediment warrants it; roast lamb brings a savoury counterpoint to the dark fruit.
How to Enjoy
Follow the fruit and herbal notes as they develop in the glass, rather than assuming it will drink like the estate’s Cabernet-led flagship.

About the Winery
Screaming Eagle is an Oakville estate in Napa Valley. The Flight, formerly Second Flight, is its second red bottling and places Merlot alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Its character is not a substitute for the estate’s principal Cabernet: the grape emphasis and texture differ, and the proportions change from harvest to harvest.
